Animal Domain ?

[Nito]

It says you gain an animal companion lvl 4 ? but it really does ? and it is at leat closely powerfull as the one the classes get ?

[Iridescence]

at level 4 you get a lvl 1 pet. The boon companion feat is pretty essential for animal domain as it will inncrease your pet's level up to your level.

[Nito]

so you use one of your own feat to level the companion with your class lvl ? is that it ? if it is that is very worth

yes

[Nito]

trying to make a summon based char and the inquisitor with this looks quite good since you have and animal companion plus the summons

[Iridescence]

yeah I have a bunch of clerics and inquisitors in my party with animal domain, it is great.

Pet are extremely strong in this game

Pick at least 3inqui huntmaster to have a pure pet based class. (because of teamwork feats to your pet for free)

After that

Pick cleric with animal + whatever domain, pick companion boon. Your gave a cleric and a dps/tank that is stronger than most npc you get. And well divine cleric spells buffs/heal


Pick Sylvan sorcerer, get pet and sorcerer spells.

Then you'd need a druid for the pet + druid domain buffs

And that's a 3 man party than can clean the whole game in hard/challenging (probably even unfair)

Pick smilodon pet, take all of. Them. With 3 level Inqui huntmaster so all of them get the teamwork feat.

Get shake. It off (+3/4 all saves)
Precision (1d6 sneak per attack and smilodon have 5)
Then the one that gives +4 hit when flanking and auto AoO when someone with the feat crit.

And the one that gives everyone else an AoO when you crit

Basically whenever anyone crit there will be 2 AoO per pet more Or less all they'll need (3-4 teamwork feat)

Just let the druid pick cat/bull/ox aoe buff
Let the sorf pick owl/eagle aoe buff

And just let them shred the screen.

Anything with a pet and decent amount of skill ponts can solo the game in normal.

I have a Sacred Huntsmaster 3/Herald Caller 6 with a giant centipede that still outdamages most of the players on my team, also using a Feyspeaker with a mastadon and Ekundayo with his dog/wolf. I've seen the centipede criticised for low damage but he seems to work nicely as the third wheel, and his dex lowering poison is sure to help on bosses.

To. Give you an idea my toon druid/Inqui lvl17

With a pet 13 or 14 I forgot

Pet buffed only by me has 47AC, 27 hit and has 5 attack that each do around 35-50 per hit without crit. So around 155- 250dmg/round with near perfect hit rate.

47 ac is huge barely get hit

Plus he got evasion and improved evasion and all the reflex stuff he can avoid.

because from what i have read it was either a Sorceror with Abyssal Bloodline that even gives DR and summon multiple times without "unsummoning" the others but it looks like your summons "unsummon" as soon as the battle ends and on the other side the inquisitor monster tactician can only summon one group/tier at a time but they share the teamwork feats and the summon stays until it die or time is up

I think the abysal is superior because of really powerful aoe buff you can get later to boost even more. Your summon.

No To mention Lvl7+ spells that the Inqui won't even see. And that's where all the super powerful stuff is.

On the other side you can't get an animal companion.....How i hate this both classes looks good but either have something negative i really hope they add the summoner class from pathfinder having an eidolon already sounds cool

Inquisitor Monster Tactician, pick Healing Domain not animal domain. You already summon for 1 minute per level. Your animal companions is great but will mid game be in the way and end game you wish you could turn it off since your summons are so incredibly much stronger.

But Healing domain, 50% stronger heals is massssiiiive. Taking this on your inquisitor and you dont need tristian or harrim in your party, and linzi you use as a buff monkey.

Just a tip.

And if you want animal domain dont pick Mastodon.
The animal is maybe even better then smilodon in my opinion BUT...it stomps wherever it go and the sound will eventually make you nuts.

[Biggie]

And as for summoner, disregard every one speculating above for other classes. You want to play summoner in this game you pick Monster Tactician. None other comes remotely close. This has to do with the level 5 ability to give all your monsters team feats. Precision attack and outflank for another 1d6 and +2 to hit, not to mention they get a free attack as soon as anyone crit the enemy. (From Outflank, as opportunity attack, yes your summons have 1).

However cool a sorc build you do you cant beat a Inquisitor monster tactician level 1 rogue and rest monster tactician until 17. You can wear medium armor and shield, with 1 level as rogue, high dex , as a class he will be doing great damage, then add in summons.

Take healing Domain and you will heal better then Tristian, provide buffs for the party, strong melee, strong summons.
Quite frankly its the best class in the PC game bar none.

Web, Obsidian Flow, Horrid Wilting. Everything dies. Monster Tactician is only good because there are VERY few caster enemies.

I disagree. A caster AI enemy is just a charge away from death. When your frontliners just beeline to him he's toast. They're just too squishy unless they're boss material and\or have prebuffs.

To be fair, you shouldn't be able to bypass enemies with charge unless you did a bullrush - it's a lot easier to defend the caster in that case.
Still, that was three rounds of spells, and Horrid Wilting is lv8 spell. I'd rather just fire off controlled fireballs. No need to deal with the annoying aftermath of a web and obsidian flow afterwards as well.
